Unprecedented opportunity to own WallStreet Tower condo

Those who want to own a condo in the middle of downtown Kansas City have an unprecedented opportunity to choose from 13 units that just became available in WallStreet Tower.

In recent years, an abundance of apartment units have been added in downtown, but few condos that provide the benefits of ownership have come on the market, according Michelle Van Trump with Boveri Realty Group. These 13 units at WallStreet Tower, which had been leased, are now available to own.

“The leases are up and the developer is ready to sell them,” Van Trump said.

WallStreet Tower is in the middle of all the excitement of downtown living. It sits at 11th and Walnut Streets on the northern edge of the Power & Light District. It is an easy walk to the Sprint Center, as well as being only a couple of blocks from a grocery store. When the streetcar starts operating this spring, WallStreet Tower residents can easily use it since it stops only a block away.

Adding to the urban vibe are numerous restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues within walking distance and City Market is only a few streetcar stops to the north.

Eight one-bedroom, one-bathroom condos on the second and third floor are included in the newly available units and are priced from $215,000 to $239,000. One one-bedroom, 11/2-bathroom condo on the second floor is available for $275,000.

Five two-bedroom, 21/2-bathroom units on the penthouse floors, 17 through 20, are also available and range in price from $350,000 to $480,000.

These condos have floor-to-ceiling glass windows providing outstanding views of downtown and open floor plans ideal for entertaining. This is a pet-friendly building, so animal family members can move in with the buyers.

Making these condos even more appealing is that they come with a 50 percent tax abatement for 15 years. The seller also is offering up to two years of paid homeowners association dues with an acceptable offer, saving buyers from just over $400 to more than $700 monthly, depending on the unit purchased.

Whichever condo buyers choose, they will have two parking spaces in the gated, limited access garage. Because so many popular attractions are within walking distance or a short streetcar ride away, cars may spend most of their time in the garage. When residents do want to drive to more distant locations, highway access is just blocks away.

WallStreet Tower also has historic significance, since it was the first building of its generation to be placed on the Federal Historic Register. Although is in the middle of downtown, it is extremely quiet, thanks to the building’s construction. And it offers numerous amenities that create a luxurious lifestyle. During the summer, residents enjoy the rooftop saltwater infinity pool and grills. Throughout the year, residents work out in the gym, which is continuously upgraded with the latest equipment.

The theater room has a Blu-ray system and comfortable seats for enjoying motion pictures without leaving the building. The concierge at the front door 24/7 lets residents know who is coming, whether it is a friend or the pizza man. And residents can use the clubroom for a variety of events, including weddings and parties.

WallStreet Tower is an ideal option for prospective buyers who want to be a part of the vibrant downtown area’s culture and entertainment, as well as those who travel and prefer the convenience and peace of mind of a lock-and-leave lifestyle.
